  • Support fleet management – scheduling vehicle safety checks, MOTs, tax renewals, and breakdown cover.
  • Produce goods labels, manage stock levels, and order consumables used across our commercial units.
  • (Appropriate training and templates will be provided where needed.)

Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in a complex administrative role, ideally with project coordination or scheduling responsibilities.
  • Experience and understanding working within a shop fitting or similar design agency environment
  • Solid understanding of logistics processes and freight documentation.
  • Excellent PC literacy, particularly in MS Office (especially Excel).
  • Strong organisational skills, with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to adapt to change.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • A positive, proactive attitude with initiative and tenacity in resolving challenges.
  • Full and valid UK driving licence (required).
